S. A. T. C. Field Music Organized

The plans of the military headquarters concerning a band are as yet indefinite, but a bugle and drum corps has already been instituted. This organization is under the direction of F. L. Reynolds '20. There are 21 buglers and 12 drummers. This field music is to take the place of a band until the beginning of the next term, at least. When a band is formed the drum corps will be an adjunct only. Already 40 men have given their names to musical director Reynolds as candidates for the S. A. T. C. band.

Captain Rogers announced that the Junior S. A. T. C. would not have either a band or field music, but that men in his Company would be eligible for the other band when it is formed. There are many men in the S. A. T. C. who have had previous band experience work.

The bugles are for the most part those used in the R. O. T. C. last year, but more will be furnished by the government. Many of the men in the corps are experienced buglers, and it is expected that the S. A. T. C. will develop an efficient substitute for a military band. At present rehearsals are held in Holden Chapel.
